[edit] Hillsborough disaster

I believe that at least some mention and link to the Hillsborough disaster must be made here. To say as User:Joshurtree has that "- its part of the history of the stadium not the district" seems to be some kind of denial. (see article History). The question is would an encyclopaedia user looking up Hillsborough here expect to find all relevant information and links concerning events there. I believe they would. I am not asking for a detailed account just a one line acknowledgment and a link to the main article. Lumos3 08:59, 18 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Suggested move

I wonder if it may be useful to move this article to a name such as Hillsborough (ward) or Hillsborough (Sheffield ward). The article itself is about the ward, and the sub-section on the actual suburb is growing rapidly and may soon necessitate a new article, probably in the location of the current one. Ideas?

[edit] Owlerton/Hillsborough

This article, in the Owlerton subsection, says that it contains the Owlerton Stadium (Speedway/Greyhounds) and Hillsborough Stadium (football). In fact, the Owlerton Stadium is in the Neighbourhood of Hillsborough[1], and the Hillsborough Stadium is in Middlewood[2]. L.J.Skinnerwot|I did 15:14, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
